Indeed - I ended up clarifying both wchan explanations, see the changes below.
I also made the 'no symbols' output "0" (instead of an empty string), to better
match the /proc/PID/stat behavior and previous output.
I'll push it out after a bit more testing and if nothing goes wrong I'll send this
patch to Linus in the v4.4 merge window.
Thanks,
Ingo

Subject: [PATCH] fs/proc, core/debug: Don't expose absolute kernel addresses via wchan
So the /proc/PID/stat 'wchan' field (the 30th field) leaks absolute kernel
addresses to unprivileged user-space, of kernel functions that sleep:
seq_put_decimal_ull(m, ' ', wchan);
The absolute address might also leak via /proc/PID/wchan, if KALLSYMS is
turned off or if the symbol lookup fails for some reason:
static int proc_pid_wchan(struct seq_file *m, struct pid_namespace *ns,
struct pid *pid, struct task_struct *task)
{
unsigned long wchan;
char symname[KSYM_NAME_LEN];
wchan = get_wchan(task);
if (lookup_symbol_name(wchan, symname) < 0) {
if (!ptrace_may_access(task, PTRACE_MODE_READ))
return 0;
seq_printf(m, "%lu", wchan);
} else {
seq_printf(m, "%s", symname);
}
return 0;
}
This isn't ideal, because for example it trivially leaks the KASLR offset
to any local attacker:
fomalhaut:~> printf "%016lx\n" $(cat /proc/$$/stat | cut -d' ' -f35)
ffffffff8123b380
Most real-life uses of wchan are symbolic:
ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm
and procps uses /proc/PID/wchan, not the absolute address in
/proc/PID/stat:
triton:~/tip> strace -f ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm 2>&1 | grep wchan | tail -1
open("/proc/30833/wchan", O_RDONLY) = 6
These days there's very little legitimate reason user-space
would be interested in the absolute address. The absolute
address is mostly historic: from the days when we didn't have
kallsyms and user-space procps had to do the decoding itself via
the System.map.
So this patch sets all numeric output to "0" and keeps only symbolic
output, in /proc/PID/wchan.
( The absolute sleep address can generally still be profiled via
perf, by tasks with sufficient privileges. )
